Overwhelmed by food after rebirth

When Shi's mother took Shifang home, she started to get busy with opening the store. After a few struggles, she settled on the store, bought kitchen utensils, and started business.The tables and stools were bought by Shi Shi’s father from the villagers. They don’t pursue good looks, as long as they are strong and cheap.

As for the money, Shi's mother told her the excuse Shi Wei had thought up earlier in the morning when she was going door to door to pay back the money.Shifang needs to spend a lot of money to see a doctor, and these days are really difficult, so he can only grit his teeth and borrow money to open the store first. Anyway, the situation is so bad, no matter how bad it is, it will be almost the same.If you can really make money, even if you can really make thirty or forty a month, that's good!

As for the money, Shi's father couldn't bear to borrow it from these folks, so he used the excuse that Shi Wei asked his classmates to raise it.

Shi Wei went to school in Yanjing, the best university!The classmates in it are all from the city, and each of them made it out of dozens of borrowings.I'm not afraid that Shiwei will run away, the big deal is that I will pay back my salary slowly after I work in the future.

So that's how the store opened.Moving is also a logical move. In order to make it easier to do business, and to give face to my son's university, it must be moved!

Shi's father and Shi's mother's store opened on Laodong Road. Walking to the left and walking a few hundred meters away from here is an industrial area, and there is a primary school in the industrial area.There is a middle school opposite the store, and there is a community on the right, full of people when it is time to eat.

The initial planning of the town was not good. The residential area was built near the industrial area, and the middle school was next to the industrial area. It was not good in terms of life, but it was indeed convenient.As for noise pollution, no one cares about it now.After all, the factory has already shut down when going to bed at night, so there is no need to worry about getting up early.One is that not many people have the right to sleep late, and the other is that most of the people in the residential area here are family members of workers, and they had already woken up before the factory started.As for the pollution during the day...students have no right to an opinion!

This kind of planning will cause a lot of noise in later generations, but it is very common now. After all, everyone is still running around for food and clothing, and has no time to think about things that pollute or not pollute.

There is a lot of traffic in this place, and the business of the shop is also good.

Shi's father and Shi's mother listened to Shi Wei's words, and after the store was closed, it was changed into a Malatang business. The two freezers were filled with various ingredients that had been divided, and the vegetables were cut and tied with rubber bands, which was not easy to tie Use sticks for the vegetarian ones, five cents for the vegetarian ones on the left, [-] cents for the meaty ones on the right, [-] cents for the vermicelli, and pay when you choose.

Shi's mother calculated the money and collected the money for the brand, and Shi's father took off the rubber band bamboo stick and put it in the "iron cage" to watch the fire cook.

The soup burning in the pot is milky white, and there are big bones under it that have been boiling all the time. The tumbling soup exudes aroma with white mist. After cooking, just pour the drained food into the bowl.There is a large iron bucket next to the cash register, which contains a selected high-flavored broth, which is poured into a bowl, and after applause, the guests are asked to add peppers, coriander and green onions as they like.

Although it is called Malatang, no matter whether it is boiled or soup, it is not popular. They don't eat spicy food here, and their tolerance to spicy food is very low, so it is always clear soup, and the spicy taste is controlled by the guests themselves.

The soup is stewed with mushrooms, pork bones, chicken bones and lettuce. The chicken bones and pork bones add a mellow taste to the soup, the shiitake mushrooms add umami to the soup, and the lettuce adds fragrance.

Half of the boiled soup is put into a pot to cook the ingredients, and the other half is washed with water as noodle soup.The original taste of the pot of soup used to cook is already very fragrant, and there is a steady stream of ingredients put down. All the ingredients are mixed together. The longer it is cooked, the stronger and more mellow the taste.The ingredients add fragrance to the soup, and the soup adds flavor to the ingredients, and the two promote each other.

The business in the store is the best in the afternoon. Firstly, it is because I am tired from work and study all day and I am willing to spend money to reward my stomach. Second, the food in Shi’s shop is more delicious in the afternoon than at noon.

Although the stuff is still the same thing, but after a morning of mixing, the soup becomes more mellow, and the cooked food becomes more delicious.

Business was better in the afternoon, but it was not too bad at noon. It was already twelve o'clock when Shi Wei and Lu Yuanzhi found the place.

There are ten tables in the store, and it is reasonable to say that it is no problem to sit sixty people, but there are too many people, and there are a group of workers squatting outside with lunch boxes and eating.

"Mom, do you want me to help?" Shi Wei asked loudly when he saw the pile of baskets piled up in front of his mother, squeezing in.

When Shi's mother heard Shiwei's voice, she looked up, as if she saw a savior: "Weiwei, I leave this to you, I'll go get some food." Several items in the freezer were already empty.

At that time, my mother could do arithmetic. Although she was illiterate, she had life experience, but it was limited to this. If she could do quick calculations, it would not work.

The process of Malatang is not simplified much, and the focus of the work is all on the accounting. When Shi's mother sees more and more baskets in front of her, her head is getting bigger.

"Let me go, please let me go in!"

After Shi Wei took over, the speed of settling accounts quickly increased, but Shi's father had such a big pot, and it took time for things to be cooked, so he piled up a bunch of baskets.

Shi Wei also took care of the work of loading the bowls. Most of the workers and students brought their own lunch boxes. Shi Wei only needed to pour the vegetables and vermicelli that Shi's father put in the bowls into the lunch box, and then served a spoonful of soup. OK.

For catering, the peak period is the meal time. Around one o'clock, there are fewer people in the store. Shi's mother brought some vegetable leaves and meat to cook two bowls of lunch for them.

Shi Wei didn't eat in the morning, and he had been busy for so long at noon, so he ate loudly when he got the chopsticks.

When Shi's mother saw his anxious appearance, she couldn't help but muttered: "It's not that there is nothing at home. I don't know how to eat before coming here. I'm so hungry that I don't think you have a place to cry!"

Shi Wei is very sensible, when Shi's mother scolded him, he always kept silent.According to his experience, if he obediently listens to the training, the end time will be much faster than interrupting from time to time.

Lu Yuanzhi was also tired, and he and Shi Fang didn't mind it when they were inside. It was their job to wash and chop vegetables and cured meat. Their eyes were bright, and when they saw someone finished eating, they would go up and collect the dishes and chopsticks. Yes, the table was wiped.

The store is small, and usually only Shi's father and Shi's mother do it. Shifang usually has to go to school, so only when he finishes his homework or is on vacation can he help them to lighten their burden, but it is limited.

Therefore, in the preparation of the ingredients, we must prepare carefully, and prepare to order them when we have time.But also because of the good business in the store, most of the inventory can be sold out in one peak period.

"Mom, the store is so busy now, do you want to hire another person?" Malatang is a small business, relying on high sales and low profits. On average, a bowl only earns one or two cents. It's all hard money.

It's not that I don't want to set the price high, but that I can't sell it if it is too high.

The small town is no different than Yanjing, which is the capital after all. The money in the pocket is different, and the consumption concept is very different.

If the current price is doubled, and a portion of vegetarian food costs [-] cents, no one will come immediately.A dime is enough to buy a catty of cabbage, so why spend this unjustified money here to buy a few leaves of cabbage?Or the kind of vegetable leaves cut into small pieces!

Although it can only be won by quantity.

It doesn't matter if you earn less, as more people come, you will naturally earn more.

It's just that it will be extra hard.

"Please, please, I'm not tired now, your father and I stand for hours a day, sitting every day, it's not comfortable enough!" Shi's mother couldn't refuse, "You think less, we Your father knows better than you!"

Lu Yuanzhi stepped on him and told him to shut up.

So Shi Wei closed his mouth.

After Shi Wei finished his meal, he also helped peel the prawns and get the prawn lines.

No one is willing to spend a lot of money outside to eat vegetarian dishes, so in order to ensure that more vegetarian dishes can be sold, the profit is further reduced.

Meat dishes are different. Although the price is higher, compared with vegetables, I feel that eating meat is more cost-effective, so the amount sold every day is also a lot, and the profit margin is larger, which is more profitable.

Fried shrimp and fried meat are the most popular. The shrimp meat is tender and delicious, and the shrimp is peeled and picked. Wrap it in batter and fry it in the oil pan. One shrimp can be sold for [-] cents. Fried meat That's right, a piece of fried meat sells for [-] cents. Both of these are "high-end" in the shop, but they are actually the most expensive.It has to be placed in the drawer of the cash register, and when people are ordering pasta in front of Shi's mother, Shi's mother holds the chopsticks with her own hands.

After all, fried shrimp and fried meat are cooked, if someone steals them, it will be a real loss!

While struggling with the shrimp shell, Shi Wei asked Shi's mother, "Have you bought the New Year's goods?"

"I bought it, bought it, I bought it, and I promise you will eat and drink well during the Chinese New Year this year!"

Shi Wei asked again: "What about firecrackers and snacks?"

Shi's mother showed a toothache expression: "I bought it too." It's just a little lack of confidence.

Shi Wei didn't need to guess, he knew that except for the food during the few days of Chinese New Year, it would be the same as usual.

At that time, my mother was used to being frugal, especially every penny was hard earned, and asking her to spend money was really like killing her.

"I'll go with Yuanzhi later to see if there's anything else to buy. At least the gifts for the New Year's Eve Village should be ready, right?"

Their family is taken care of by the village a lot. They used to have no money and no ability, but now they have money and ability, and they always have to pay back something.

Shi's mother also thought of how the village took care of their family in the past, and she no longer felt distressed. When Shi Wei took Lu Yuanzhi out, Shi's mother gave him a handful of money.

"No, I have money here." Shi Wei put the money into Shi's mother's apron, then waved to Shi Fang who was staring at them pitifully.

"Fangfang, do you want to go shopping together?"

Shi Fang nodded quickly, but immediately looked at the meat in his hand hesitantly, with a tangled look on his face.

"Okay, okay, you go with your brother." Shi's mother asked Shi Fang to wash her hands, and stuffed fifty cents in her pocket with rare generosity, "Don't let go of your brother's hand!"

"I got it, I got it!" Shi Fang suddenly became lively like a bird escaping from the cage, and ran over with short legs to hold Lu Yuanzhi's hand.

Shi Wei stretched out his hand: "..."
